Abstract
A rear seat cushion for the seat of an automobile is movable from a riding position to an escaped position. A seat back for the seat can be tilted forward from its normal standing position to a stacked position in which it lays over the seat cushion or, when the seat cushion is in the escaped position, to a 'sunken' position in which it occupies the same space on the floor of the automobile that the seat cushion occupies in the riding position. A connector link of the hinge of the seat back has a unique arrangement of stops which allow the seat back to be maintained in each of its three positions without the need for the user to perform any locking operations. Also the seat back can be moved from one state to any of the others without any need for inconvenient unlocking operations of the hinge mechanism.
